We stayed one night while visiting the beach, and it gave us exactly what we needed. The beds were soft, the room and bathroom were clean, and the room was cool the moment we stepped in, which was necessary after being on the hot beach all day. The restaurant's food was delicious, and it was great to be able to eat and then go right back up to the room to rest. We'll definitely be back next year.

The location of the Tavern is great! There are plenty of restaurants and locations for entertainment without going over the bridge. Owner is friendly and staff is also friendly to chat with. For a locally owned business, they are doing a great job supplying multiple perks for a fair cost!

The atmosphere and the hotel itself was so tastefully decorated, it was so different then anything down there. It was classy and unique. Staff and owner were fantastic! The views off the decks were beautiful and you could enjoy happy hour at the restaurant deck downstairs. Will definitely be going back!

This hotel is really unique. The Inn was built in the 1880’s and makes you feel like you’re stepping back in time. It’s in a beautiful location right on the bay with breathtaking views. The owner, Sam, took great care of us including getting up early to make cappuccino on the front porch and share stories about the buildings use during prohibition to smuggle illegal booz into the county.

The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring every detail of our stay was just right. The room was clean.The on-site dining was amazing, with delicious meals served in a charming setting. I highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat by the ocean.
